Cleveland Fire Brigade (CFB) are looking for a supplier (or suppliers) who are able to undertake accident damage repair, for a range of both HGV's and Light Vehicles. The extent of accident damage can not be clarified until each accident takes place, however, we would be looking for a supplier who is able to repair both bodywork and mechanical issues when required.
CFB have a range of front line operational and non-operational vehicles. Due to the nature of our work, CFB are wanting to have our vehicles repaired to both a high standard and within the fastest time possible. CFB are not expecting suppliers to undertake our work immediately, however, once a date and timeframe is agreed, we expect suppliers to be able to honor this (with the exception of exceptional circumstances).
CFB's vehicle stock is of high value, and needs to be treat / stored in a way which maintains the security at all times. Suppliers are required to ensure security of our vehicles (both HGV and Light Vehicles) at all times when under the control of the supplier.
CFB insist that genuine parts are used on all front line operational vehicles, after market parts will be considered for all non-operational vehicles.
Cleveland Fire Brigade are currently soft market testing with a view of undertaking a procurement exercise for a supplier to provide and install seat contamination covers.
Fire services required to have seat contamination covers often referred to as 'Clean Cab' Solutions. These seat covers are specialized, non-porous shields used on fire appliance seats. They prevent toxic soot, combustion particulates, and off-gassing from exposed PPE from absorbing into standard porous seat fabrics, significantly reducing the risk of dermal absorption and secondary cross-contamination.
These seat covers should be wipe clean, have non-hazardous flame retardants and have decontamination capabilities. They should be able to with-stand frequent wipe downs.
